Nice chart shows the vicinity of the village of San Juan on the island of Puerto Rico, today known as San Juan Antiquo. The map details the bay with soundings, navigational hazards, and anchorages noted. Locate the Petit Fort in the harbor on a small island. The village is surrounded by fortifications and ramparts. It is embellished by a lovely rococo-style title cartouche, fleur-de-lis, and rhumb lines. No. 76 at upper right. Not in Sellers & Van Ee.
